So explain to me...
How can people still be talking about 'the team' and how they're working to get into next years entry

Then obviously after that we started going into administration and it’s been pretty tough since. We have been working on deals, we have been for quite a long time, and the team have been very close a number of times. But there’s a point where you have to call in the administrator. He’s doing his best but then obviously now there’s a point where, if he can’t see an outcome, then you have to then put it into liquidation. But we’re hoping we can stay away from that.

When...
The company ceased trading in November (therefore it no longer exists) and all of its former assets are being put up for sale

What do they mean, running out of time?
That's it! They aren't in administration! There is no team, there is no company, there are no employees, there is no factory and there are no longer even any assets!


It's one thing for Max Chilton to be saying that, but it's quite another for a large news organisation to print this tripe. Seriously, facts?


Btw, anyone fancy pooling together to buy a Formula 1 car? I reckon it would still go pretty well with an H22 in the back!

It is indeed utter tripe.

Completely agree. Hogwash of the highest order. To add to the insult to our intelligence, they're saying that Caterham can race next year (if they continue with their begging bowl methodology of raising funds) in a 2014 car. Idiotic.
F1 really is getting rather silly.

F1 is becoming irrelevant there really is nothing that's being developed to go into real cars anymore which was always the strap line they used.
Touring cars and rallying are the real thing now with regards to development of the car

That's exactly why the engine regs changed for this year - that will be technology that makes it into road cars and in the not too distant future I would expect...
